The situation was among numerous incidents that McClain had encountered since entering the league in 2009 as the eighth-overall pick.

In December, 2011, McClain was arrested and charged with third-degree assault. Additionally, in January 2013, he was arrested after an officer pulled him over for a window tint violation.

The Baltimore Sun reported that he had pleaded guilty to the charge on May 6th and charges of providing false information were dropped.

For his latest run in with the law, McClain is due in court on July 9th on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

If the retirement holds, McClain will complete his three-year NFL career with 274 tackles (195 solo), 6.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and 23 passes defensed in 41 career games with Oakland.

The Ravens now have one less inside linebacker. Arthur Brown and Jameel McClain will most likely be starters along with Josh Bynes and Albert McClellanas the top challengers, according to BaltimoreRavens.com.
